From the outset, by receiving a large number of foreign artists, the Salon d'Automne has been outward-looking. Thanks to its extremely rich history, taught in all the art schools of the world, it has been able to retain the esteem of international creators wishing to hang their works on its Parisian picture rails. In return, many exhibitions are organized abroad under its prestigious banner.
Thanks to the friendship between the two painters Seiji Togo and Francois Baron-Renouard in the 1970’s, the Salon d’Automne has built a strong collaboration and partnership with the Japan International Artists Society, and its president, Toshifumi Magori.
Over the years, the CAEA has become a full-fledged division at the Salon d'Automne, presenting an important selection of outstanding Japanese works each year in Paris.
In exchange, more than 65 painters, photographers, illustrators and engravers selected at the Salon d'Automne are invited annually to exhibit their work at the National Art Center in Tokyo.
The Salon d'Automne has once again flown across the borders for a new international exchange.
